Statistical and Fuzzy Approaches to Data Processing, with Applications to Econometrics and Other Areas : In Honor of Hung T. Nguyen's 75th Birthday

Abstract

Mainly focusing on processing uncertainty, this book presents state-of-the-art techniques and demonstrates their use in applications to econometrics and other areas. Processing uncertainty is essential, considering that computers - which help us understand real-life processes and make better decisions based on that understanding - get their information from measurements or from expert estimates, neither of which is ever 100% accurate. Measurement uncertainty is usually described using probabilistic techniques, while uncertainty in expert estimates is often described using fuzzy techniques
